PRAIRIE FIRES.
Fifteen Lives Lost-A Tract sixty Miles
Long and Two tn Seven Wide
Burned Over-kansas
and Dakota.

ATCHIsoN. KANs., April 12.-No less
than fifteen persons have been burned to
death by prairie fires which, starting
near Nicodemus, Graham county, have
swept northwest in air line into Norton
county, destroying everything in their
path, that in places is from two and a
half to seven miles wide, a great roaring
sea of flames rolling in tremendous
sheets under the driving of a high wind
which prevailed all day and night Satur-
day. Starting on South Fork of Solomon
river i'm Graham county, the fire swept
north to North Fork, which it crossed at
Edmund station, ON the Central Branch
Railroad, i'm Norton county, and at last
accounts it was still sweeping towards
the northwest, diagonally across Norton
county. in the direction of Decatur, the
adjoining county on the west, carrying
destruction and death in its path.
Thousands of head of stock of all
kinds have been burned, and thousands
of tons of hay, corn and wheat and from
100 to LIS houses and barns have been
destroyed. The people living along the
line of fire have been left homeless and
destitute. 1t is impossible as yet to
learn the names of those who perished.
Tremendous excitement prevails all
through the burned district. which ex-
tends a distance of sixty miles in length
by two to seven miles in breadth, with
the fire still spreading to the northwest.

| dral will have to be pulled down, though
| the columns of the old market will be
left standing, and new roof placed on
them
The appearance of the burned district
yesterday afternoon was desolate enough.
| The entire surface was covered with
fallen walls and smoking debris, too hot
to walk among or to seek for valuables
which might have escaped total destruc-
| tion. The grim walls of the old Cathe-
dral and the tall and dangerous looking
chimneys stood silent guard over the
ruins wrought by the flames. The people
walked about with saddened hearts and
solemn faces as they realized the great
loss they had sustained in the destruc-
tion of their most ancient landmarks.
Catholic and Protestant alike deplored
the loss of the old Cathedral, and the
silencing forever of the historical chime
of bells. 1t is loss that cannot be esti-
mated in dollars and cents, for it cannot
be replaced.

Mr.. r. Kersting, of this city, with his
wife and her sister, Mrs. Blanche Flem-

Hotel at the time of the fire. They had
rooms ON the fourth floor, and barely
had time to escape from the flames
when the alarm was given. Mr.. ker-
sting lost his coat and vest, and gold
watch and chain valued at $l25: Mrs. Ker-
sting all her clothing and jewelry, and
Mrs. Fleming lost valuable gold watch
and chain, family heirloom, and all
her clothing. Mr. Kersting's money hap
pened to be in his pantaloons pockets
and the party had to buy entirely new
outfits of clothing in order to get home.

Bottles Which Spoil Wine.

NJ. Peligot, an eminent French chemist,
has made discovery which will be very
comforting to wine merchants all over
the world. When you buy choice wine
at an alarming number of shillings per
DOZEN, and afterwards find that YOU have
got sour highly branded concoction, it
does not at all follow, it seems, that the
wine merchant is dishonest. II is all the
fault Of the bottles. Most French bottles,
says NJ. 'Peligot, are well made and
worthy of receiving good wine; but
France is inundated with bottles of for
eign manufacture. whose name is abomi-
nation. In the good old days, when soda
and potash formed the basis of bottle
glass, wine improved BY keeping; but
now that glass, like everything else, is
adulterated, the best vintages are liable
to be spoiled. Materials that are largely
ferruginous are constantly employed in
the manufacture of glass for bottles; and
upon these constituents the acids in the
wine act very powerfully, with the result
that the liquid becomes impregnated with
a solution Of magnesia or what not
